Poem Scansion

I know we have a few teachers and other students attending the boards, so I thought I'd go ahead and ask. If anyone's really good at scansion (scanning a poem for meter) and is up for checking me on some work I'm doing for a paper, please let me know via PM. I'm not really comfortable scanning yet, so I'm hoping to find someone to back me up on what I've found.

In case anybody's curious, I'm working on "The Imperfect Enjoyment" by the Earl of Rochester and "The Dissapointment" by Aphra Behn. Both extremely funny poems--though "Imperfect" is seeming more introspective as I look at it.

Hey Dwilah :)

I teach jr. high English, so it's been a while since I got my hands on some more 'grown-up' poetry/literature. I'd love to try & help you out with your assignment. Lay it on me!

KK, Dwilah - I PM'ed you back. Those 17th century folks were pretty hilarious for some supposedly prim'n'proper people..... :eek:

*now understands Dwilah's comment about feeling funny during 17th century class readings*
